Laptop dock mouse freezing.. - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Anybody having issues with the webtop application while using the laptop dock and their mouse freezing while using the firefox application. Its really annoying. I have to remove the phone from the dock and put it back for it to start working again. This happens only with the mouse, everything else works... such as the keys.

I've seen this problem before while testing some other things on the webtop and figured it was my BT mouse. Control from the touchpad that the atrix turns into when in webtop mode seemed fine though. I'll see if I can figure out what's causing this.

Stupid question, but a possibility.
When you double click the corner of the touchpad, it turns if off. There is a small indicator light in the upper left. Is this on or off when it freezes?
If it is off, try double tapping that corner to turn it back on.

Hey jkrohn,
thanks for your help but I already checked the basics, obviously the light is on because the touchpad is on but when it freezes the light is still on and does not respond to the double touch.. like I said correctly it freezes...
I gues you have not experienced this huh..

No, luckily I haven't experienced it.
The only time I had a freeze was after about an hour of watching hulu.

I had this problem, but I didn't know about the double click option for tuning it on and off. I fixed it by undocking and redocking the phone. I'll have to keep an eye on this next time. I don't think I double clicked the light on the touch pad at all when this last happened, because I never tap the touch pad area.

mine has once or twice. I closed the lid and reopened it and it fixed itself.
I'm hoping there's a software update/bug fix to speed webtop up, and fix the track pad.

Yes mine does it all the time in firefox, i have mine on a uk orange brand with latest updates. How do we go about updating the lapdock? Any fix woul be great as its very annoying.
Thanks
Paul

hi, guys...i have the same problem got a 200$ laptop dock from amazon and my touchpad move around to different area especially to corners of the screeen when the firefox is open. This is really annoying....I have Aura 1.1.3 build 8 with 2.3.4 webtop fixed image [CWM Install] V1 . So much money spent on this phone.....

Moisture?
My trackpad sucks too, and the mouse freezes once in a while, but for me it's usually when I get something on it like if I took a drink of my soda can and had some moisture on my finger, and then touch it. That's when it starts bouncing around all funny and sometimes not moving. Solution is obviously just wiping off the pad with your shirt, or any other absorbent material for that matter... I really did write this in hopes that it would help, but reading it back now almost feels like a waste of space. Oh well, good luck with your trackpad!

I am having the same issue and I just received one from AT&T. Is there a current fix for this?

[Q] Menu button flashing issue

Hi to everyone in this forum. I've recently received as a present a new toshiba folio 100, but, since I'm experiencing an annoying menu button flashing, I've thought of it as a software problem so I upgraded the folio using the foliomod1.3c and applied the rotate patch and also the 1.3c fix patch. The menu still flash with no apparent logic. I've tried to kill all applications running and it's still there. It seem to come up and down at random. I ask to all in this forum: do you believe it's a hardware issue or is a software issue? Because if it's a hardware issue I'm going to try to have a new folio from toshiba. I'm overall very pleased with the work that Dexter made to make the folio an usable machine but this flashing is driving me crazy. I use the folio basically as a portable scientific pdf reader so I need to concentrate on what I read and this flashing is really annoying. I would like very much to thank you all in this forum in advance for all the suggestion/help you could provide.

I have a request that serve All those who suffer MENU crazy button .
Is it possible to prepare application you can setting ON/OFF the MENU button
Most of the time useless button.
sometimes button jump after 10 minutes, sometimes after an hour
Usually I fix the problem by changing the settings with FolioButtons 1.1.
If you could add to FolioButtons on/off operation for menu Buttons was the best.
Hi teknoraver,
Can you add enabled/disabled menu button in foliobuttons application ?

I am pretty desperate about this issue, because none of the methods seem to help...
Right now the buttons work opposite- Menu button flashes mad and none of the other 3 responds...dont know how it happened
Just a thought- while the folio is booting up the menu button ALREADY flashes! I have zero understanding in there but isn't it a process that loads / starts early in the line?
I appreciate everyone's effort trying to solve this bug as it makes this handy tool a useless pile of crap.
I was wondering how many folio users are suffering of this crazy buttons madness.
Mine was crazy from the very beginning; I sent it back for repair and toshiba only did a firmware restore... Nothing changed at all!
It makes my folio almost unusable!
bye bye crazy buttons
After two weeks of testing and a complete breakdown of my folio100, I finally find the problem or just crazy buttons and freezing of the screen.
I drag a thickness in the screen in the bottom right corner of the screen to isolate the audio connector and it works better than a miracle again.
The only downside is that the screen comes out slightly from the slot but nothing really bad.
The thickness I put slightly too big or-1.4 mm I'll Demount next week to put a finer and I'll try to take pictures in passing.
Note however that the loss of waranty is innevitable.
Sorry for my bad english ;-)
I think it's a hardware issue and even a build quality issue.
If i hold my folio at the side of the buttons, i get the flashing buttons problem (even the foliobuttons app will not help), if i hold it at the other side, i've got no problems at all.
Do you have an animated background? Because I saw that some people had this issue with an animated background...
Hi Mshr73, nice first post indeed
Could you post some pictures of what you did?

I really don’t want to be too quick on this, but Dexter’s 1.4 seems to bring relief to this issue - for 2 days I have been running this mod the menu button stopped flashing!!
Any similar impressions on this?

No way pal, I guess I'm in the opposite situation. It still happens to me, and sometimes I think it even got worse... well, I can always look at crazy keys as a "special feature" that no other tablet will have!!!
I just tested without thickness under the screen, with foliomod 1.4 and after a few hours I again the problem of crazy buttons.

Well, I just finished dismantling e reassembling my Folio. Following your hint, I cut a piece of paper and put it between the audio connector and the back of the screen (yes, it was metal vs metal). I'll see whether it's gonna work or not. Crossing fingers for now.
Not that I'm so confident in leaving a piece of paper stuck right where the DC input is .
BTW, did you try with a smaller thickness? Even if this is the problem, I'm wondering whether a piece of paper would be enough or not.
thyself can someone. post pictures of before and after details?
we will be much appreciated
i didn't have the crazy buttons issue this far in 2 weeks, just my home butten needs to be pressed harder. I'm pretty sure it's hardware related, i read often that users experience it when changing from an warm room to a colder one, or in regions where its verry humid(some circuit closes maybe...). so Mshr73 is on the right way as far as i can tell.

Really sorry mate, I hope it will solved this for others too...
Anyhow, it is so disturbing, that I was already considering to send the tablet back to Toshiba...
I'll try to do this weekend if I do not have too many customers. I post the result Monday.

I'm looking forward to your pictures, too... because my trial simply didn't work.
I tried with both a single piece of paper and then with 2 pieces wrapped in tape. I put these spacers between the back of the display and DC/audio connector.
In both cases, the crazy keys phenomenon started to happen after 15-20 minutes of usage.
In most cases, it starts to show when I unlock the device. As soon as I unlock it, home and menu buttons light up with no apparent reason and go crazy for 10-30 seconds.
Then, I even tried to loosen just a little the screws (I read, somewhere in the forum, of a guy who said that he solved his crazy keys and screen lag problems this way). I mean, all screws are now locked but not too tight. Well, I have to say that I don't have any screen lag anymore (I even removed the piece of paper, from the battery area, which used to solve the issue before) but crazy keys still happen. I'm going slightly mad

Well ... with a piece of paper the problem Come back.
I handed a piece of cardboard and the problem disappears.
I think that to raise the screen to solve them but I'm still not 100% sure.

Keyboard Dock thoughts

Just got the dock today and wanted to share a few thoughts..
kind of clunky to attach but may just take some getting used to. Once attached feels just like a netbook
Loving the keyboard shortcuts. There's even a key to take a screenshot!
Have been trying to figure out whether there's any need to touch the screen when docked. Only thing I see so far is unlocking the tablet. You can even scroll within widgets
Wondering if there will be any apps that will allow for remapping keys. (i.e. assigning a key to custom app or shortcut
The overall feel is very nice and compact. The piece that holds the tablet looks weird when it's closed though.
The whole thing fits inside my Gtablet sleeve perfectly.
All in all, worth the money IMO. I can't stand typing on a touch screen and I can see that this will be my primary method of typing on this thing.
Post edited to remove thumbs up. Not stable at all
2nd edit (5/11/11) back to thumbs up after updating to the beta dock firmware
awesome.. want mine now!

Have you encountered the glitches with the touchpad being activated and the keyboard suddenly not responding? a number of us have including me. Disabling the touch pad seems to prevent the disconnections but really annoying nonetheless.

I've experienced it as well. Hopefully the next update will correct the problem, since the touchpad functionality w/gestures is very nice (when it works).
BTW, how do you disable the touchpad???
not once. been using it all day, in and out of the dock

Fourth button on the top row of the dock, the one with a slash on a dock symbol. It doesn't solve the problem unfortunately, at least in my experience.

Thanks - unfortunately it doesn't help me either.
Where was you dock from?
What firmware does your dock have?
Oh great! Now I'm starting to have issues.
1st I noticed the I was missing all apps from my home sreen. Dock/Undock fixed it.
Then I notced a big time lag in my typing. No biggie still better than touchscreen.
Then while playing around in Gallery I lost dock. Dock/Undock fixed it.
Also, the wifi is beginning to intermittently turn off. hitting wifi button fixes.
Now the lag is more noticable. Typing with it now and the letters show up about 1/2 second later. Sucks cause I was just beginning to learn neat tricks with the dock. For example, I was using 2 fingers to scroll, but learned it's easier to just hold 1 finger still and use the other finger to scroll.
Hope there's firmware fix made available soon.

I got my dock from AmericanTV in Peoria, IL on May 5th. Its running the default firmware it came with, whereas the tablet I have updated to the latest 8.2.3.9 firmware from the Asus website.

Thanks - I'm running the latest firmware as well for the tab. I'm assuming the dock firmware is what it shipped with (EP101-0207).
One other question: When the dock freaks out, does your battery status icon show a question mark over it?
No refresh button is a real bummer. I think this button is far more useful than say, the auto light button.
The backspace button is also really far for those of us who have smaller hands. But, this is something you can just get used to.
Does the hardware keyboard support languages other than English? Can you change the predictive input dictionary language and/or the keyboard layout?
Can you type, for example, German or Japanese on it? What about typographical symbols that don't have a dedicated key (like dashes)?
Delay, there are supposed to be regional keyboards available in the future.
I don't have mine yet, so I can't expound on detail regarding settings in the TF, but I doubt one will be able to simply change the language of the keyboard without changing the language setting of the whole OS. Also the keyboard will probably still output English characters.
Got my dock yesterday, and UPS just dropped off my TF a couple hours ago ( ).
Anyway, I just 'mated' the TF to the dock for the 1st time, and it did not sound good / did not go well. Didn't want to go down, and it seemed like it was getting hung up on something. I slid the latch over, and pulled the TF back out and a tiny little piece of black plastic fell onto the desk (very tiny... like 1mm x 1mm).
I finally got it to dock ok, but the little sliding latch isn't automatically sliding all the way to the right. It only goes about 1/2 way, then I have to sort of help it along to get it all the way over.
Anybody else had this problem? I'm wondering if I have a faulty dock.

Is it supposed to go all the way over? I've just assumed that it was designed to only go halfway. Now I'm really curious what other people's docks are doing.
Mine only goes halfway if my TF isn't clicking in completely to the dock. It does go all the way over as long as I push down and get both sides to click in.
I haven't had any problems with the dock yet, no problems with wifi, no problems with touchpad *knocks on wood*. I did experience some lag typing into forms, but no more so than with touchscreen keyboard on stock browser, so I don't think that was dock dependent.
The only issue I have with the dock is I don't believe there's a button to the multitasker. I want to be able to move between programs more easily while docked. I don't want to have to touch the "monitor" every time I want to multitask. Also, I need the touchpad to register pinch to zoom. I'm hoping these get updated soon.
Has anyone tried an SDXC (not SD) card in their dock yet?
Yes it is suppose to go all the way over. If it's not going all the way over for you, then the transformer is not COMPLETELY flush with the dock. Meaning that, when you close the transformer down with the dock it should be smooth all the way around.

"Ghost tapping" on screen?

Ok, so aside from a few barely noticeable dead pixels, my TF Prime is fine.
But 3-4 times I've had this weird issue... the TF will all of a sudden start freaking out, flipping screens back and forth, tapping on app icons, keyboard keys, etc. It's as if a ghost has taken over my Prime, lol... what the??
Just happens at random, doesn't seem to be a particular app or action that's setting it off. Has happened while using the stock browser, Evernote, and typing an email.
Anyone else seeing this? Some kind of software glitch, or do you think I got a dodgy touchscreen?
By any chance, do you have the keyboard dock attached? On a few occasions, I've had the palm of my hand kind of resting on the mouse pad and that will set it off - not a tablet flaw, it's just my hand in the wrong place. Without the dock, I've managed to accomplish the same "flaw" by resting my thumb too close to the screen. With a sensitive capacitive screen, you just need to be really close to the screen to set it off. If not, then you have a real problem.
Bye.
No, I'm not lucky enough to own the dock yet, got one on pre-order, lol.
It's not just one tap or two, I mean the thing just flips out, scrolling home screens back and forth, typing automatically on the keyboard, etc., like it's possessed or something... on auto-pilot. It will go on indefinitely, and the screen will become unresponsive to my own taps. The only way to stop it is by doing a hard reboot by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds.
Now that I think about it, probably a touchscreen hardware issue... seems like it's "holding" the tap on, not releasing the tap off when it happens. I guess I'm gonna return it next week, ugh.
I qwas having this problem also but it started happening after i put on a skinomi screen protector. People thought i got water in tablet but maybee that wasnt the problem. If your having same problem.

I've had that happen many times on my Nook Color. Drives me nuts. Certain games trigger it for me. Or sometimes it seems to be caused by my hand touching the screen or more than 2 points ( which is all my NC can handle )
Found that if I turn the device to sleep mode and wipe screen good, it usually fixes the issue. Either that or sometimes I have to reboot and it is normal again.
Glad I'm not the only one with a possessed tablet.

Right side of screen unresponsive to touch

I noticed today when i woke up i cannot press the right side of the screen and get any kind of response. It is only about a thumbs with of the right edge but this prevents me from being able to hit send on text messages on the default messaging app and also on go sms as the send buttons are in the same general location. Is my phone just FUBAR or is there some way i can resolve the issue. Have tried power cycling and thats about it. I guess i need to know if this is a software issue or a hardware issue and if there is any way to find out and fix the problem.
I've been having the same issue actually. In the bottom right corner, anyway.
Like when I go to attach a picture to a text message, I have to hit the text box first so the paperclip button is out of the corner. I've also had some trouble unlocking with the camera or touching it from the Navbar, where it's positioned in the bottom right corner. :/

I have similar issues with that when my phone is plugged in. And my acreen often locks up kinda with the last image on the screen being the only thing you see until you reset.

I don't think I've had an image stuck to my screen yet. I have this problem even if it isn't plugged in, which is really strange. Not sure why it's so unresponsive, takes several tries to unlock/select.
And kudos for being in Portland too! :good:
Have either of you found a consistent way around the problem or a way to resolve it? Also are you running the phone in the base state that you bought it in or is it rooted / unlocked?
I just tested my phone, by opening the browser to google.com (mostly white background), all around the edge of the screen. And I can see feedback animations for all my touches around the edge of the screen. So I don't think there is any problem with the touch digitizer, at least on my phone. Phone is still stock, rooted and TWRP.
I have touch animation when I touch the bottom right corner on the lockscreen, but it doesn't always drag/ripple out. Sometimes it acts like I've pulled my finger off so I have to do it again.
Rooted, unlocked, stock.
After touch responsiveness got increasingly worse i contacted AT&T and they are sending me a free replacement since these issues seem to be covered under the one year warranty. Just throwing that out there in case anyone else gets as frustrated with the problem as I have and cant find a permanent fix.
I can confirm that I am having very similar problems... it is getting worse.
I am stock rooted and unlocked.
It is getting harder and harder to press things, fling actions (like scrolling through a list) hardly move a thing.
I just installed a multitouch visualizer and whenever I have 2 fingers on the screen and then go to cross them (start with fingers in opposite corners, move one up and the other down until they pass each other in the middle) it actually loses both fingers and then sometimes only one pops up again on the screen.
Can anybody try an app like this Play Store Link.
I've had similar results with 2 other multitouch testers.
Is it my phone, or everybody's?
----EDIT-----
Figured I would install the Base ROM (7.0>7.3) because either it was a software issue and maybe the ROM would fix it, of it was a hardware issue (I really didn't think it should be acting like that) and I would try to get it replaced.
The Base ROM fixed my issue (for now, fingers crossed).
Now using a multitouch visualizer, the contact points are always seen, even when the fingers cross.
Don't know what caused it, but it was software (at least for me).
----EDIT----
Just plugged in the charger again... now the touchscreen is acting strange again... this phone does strange things when plugged in...

[Q] Digitizer freaking out on anyone else?

This has been happening more often the past week or so.
I'm running the late-December-2012 "Energy ROM" release, and from time to time the touchscreen goes all wonky on me. It seems random but is happening more often as time goes on.
I can, for example, tap to open my Gmail account, but then holding my finger down in one spot in the message list will cause it to scroll down, scroll up, select and deselect different messages - sometimes when I tap on a message it registers somewhere else altogether.
I did apply a Skinomi skin not too long ago, so I'm wondering also if it's interfering somehow. I thought it was lotion having come off my hand once, mimicking another finger, but now it happens even when totally dry.
Anyone else find this one?
Thanks,
R
Is it plugged in or laying on a wire that is plugged in?
Sent from my LG-SU760 using xda premium
It is plugged in when it happens - I generally leave it plugged in at home - but not always.
Unless you count 'plugged in' as in, attached to the dock.
I pulled off and replaced the skin yesterday, I think I did a better job on the 2nd time through.

sometimes being plugged in to power source from wall or laying on a wire that has power to it will cause touchscreen to be erratic. get it away from power it will be fine.

This has started happening for me aswell at random. I don't have any skin on it or plugged in. Do you know if I can send it to ASUS to see about repairing it even though I have unlocked the bootloader?

Well - with a sample size of one, this seems to work.
I was having trouble scrolling through a large list of items, it was jumping all over - I unplugged the dock from the wall charger, and it smoothed right out.
So - thanks to whycali again!
